Josiah was glad to see that Zor’s presence was welcomed for a second time by a citizen of ‘Souls. The white rat sniffed at the extended hand for a moment before hopping off of his owner’s and onto the unfamiliar one. Josiah’s eyes trained on his pet for a moment before returning to Tamerlane as he spoke; sure that Zor was quiet literally in good hands.
”Well, I traveled for two years before I came to ‘Souls. I make all kinds of jewelry and I used to trade it in order for the necessities. In my travels, I came upon a man who desperately wanted a diamond ring off of me, but had nothing of value to trade. The man then offered me a rat and I surprised even myself by taking him up on the offer,” he said, reliving the story, a gleam in his eye. ”Zor was young then, just recently weaned, and we grew very close. I take him everywhere,” he finished reaching out to stroke the animal, but allowing him to remain in Tamerlane’s hands.
